One of the most basic tenets of composition is the Rule of Thirds. Although most people are familiar with this technique it is often forgotten in the haste to take a photo. However you ignore it at your peril as it can make an average snap into something which is has tension and dynamism.

    I knew going in that this was a beginner class, even though I have been into photography for many years. I wanted to start with a baseline class, and then continue with more advanced classes, which is the reason that I signed up. For the beginner this was a very good class. The instructor was very approachable, informative, and made sure that all questions were answered, and was very patient with assisting other class members in setting up their cameras. The instructor covered all of the basic components of photography and did a really good job with the class.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Kathleen Fritch
    Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. There's something truly magical about capturing a moment in time and being able to share it with others. Whether it's the vibrant colors of a sunset, the intricate details of a flower, or the candid expressions of people, photography allows us to see the world in a unique and beautiful way.

    In addition to being a photographer, I am also an avid runner. Running keeps me energized and focused, and it has taught me the importance of patience and perseverance 2014qualities that are equally valuable in photography. Just like running, photography is about the journey as much as the destination. It's about exploring, experimenting, and finding joy in the process.

    So, let's get started and embark on this creative adventure together!

    Kathleen Fritch is available for private bookings

    Available most Saturdays from 2pm until 6pm for private tutoring.

    Lafayette College had a few early-blooming Japanese Cherry Blossoms that I wished to photograph. While taking a leisurely stroll through the historic district of downtown Easton, I was struck by the picturesque view of College Hill across Route 22. I patiently adjusted my camera settings while waiting for traffic to clear, and finally, a moment presented itself when I was able to stand in the middle of the road to capture this shot.Sony a6600 (1/200 F8 ISO100) with a Tamron 18-300mm lens @ 76m

    During the Blue Hour it wasn't looking good for a great sunset, but as if got closer to 8:00pm the light changed and the then bright and colorful sky was reflected on the still surface of the pond producing nice reflections. It pays to stay!Shot on Canon - f/6.3, 1/100", ISO 250.

    Just when we thought it was all over... an inch of heavy, wet, April snow fell overnight, making everything beautiful again! Cattails are fun to photograph in the autumn colors, but the winter blues and whites added an exceptional color contrast to the scene.

    I was riding on the train on my way to downtown to make some street photography shots, when I got off the train I saw those diagonal, horizontal and vertical lines directing my eyes to a black point where there wasn?t anything at this moment, and I thought: Sometimes the decision we want to make has a direction, a very well laid out path like this lines, but it doesn't really lead us anywhere.

    This photo features the greater 'rhea' which is the largest of all South American birds and is related to ostriches and emus. These flightless birds use their long, powerful legs to outrun trouble. Although their large wings are useless for flight, they are used for balance and for changing direction as the bird runs.I took this photo on Saturday afternoon on 26th October whilst visiting Amazon World Zoo Park, situated in Newchurch on the Isle of Wight.
